Memory Alpha:Nominations for administratorship

← Memory Alpha: Administrators

Please read the full policy on becoming an administrator before nominating someone (or yourself) for administrator privileges. Nominations submitted on this page are considered for at least seven days; during this time, both Administrators and registered members may express their opinions and vote. Unregistered members may not vote. Nominations must be unanimously approved in order to be accepted. Nominations that are unresolved after fourteen days will be rejected. Past nominations, both rejected and accepted, can be viewed here.

Shran (6/0/0)

He has a very good understanding of the Policies, he rarely makes mistakes, he has made hundreds of edits to the pages (1211 main article, non-minor edits, an average of 12 major edits a day from June 18 to September 23), plus he has a couple featured articles. He seems to be one of the top contributors who has not been nominated for administratorship.--Tim Thomason 11:27, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Support

1. Tim Thomason (implicit from nomination)
2. Support- seems like a fine idea. -Platypus Man | Talk 15:31, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
3. Support - I was surprised that he allowed me to edit and conclude the summary of "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" and to collaborate on "These Are the Voyages...". I support this officer's promotion in rank, as long as I get to see him walk the plank first! --Defiant | Talk 15:43, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
4. Support. I probably see the "reverted edit of x, changed back to last version by y" message from him more often than anyone, and I remember at least one or two occasions where someone was vandalizing and he had to wait for an admin to show up. Plus, he takes things quite seriously, unlike yours truly. --Schrei 15:47, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
5. Support. He smells ok. Jaf 15:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)Jaf
6. Support. I'm still a newbie, but I have certainly been impressed. --Fenian 07:15, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Holy crap, I don't believe this, lol! Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready for administratorship (mainly b/c I don't know yet what all it entails, aside from being able to revert easier and block/delete), but I wanna thank Tim for nominating me and everyone else for their support. I really appreciate it, everybody. :) --Truly, From Andoria with Love 02:39, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

PS to Defiant: Just remember, it's retract plank, not remove plank. ;-) --From Andoria with Love 02:42, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Aww, they've forgotten me. Oh, well. :P (Truth be told, I forgot about this myself until a few moments ago, lol!) --From Andoria with Love 03:34, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Neutral/Comments

• Comment: I already voted (actually nominated) so this comment isn't "neutral" and has nothing to do with Shran directly. It seems that Shran has been nominated for almost a month now, and has a unanimous 5-0 vote. I gather from the policy pages and archive that a nomination has to be "on the table" for at least seven days unanimously and at least fourteen days for consensus. I understand the "at least" part but the vote was unanimous and it's been about 4 voting periods now. I believe the next step is an administrator should archive this and contact a bureaucrat, and the bureaucrat should sysop Shran into admin status. Of course, if an administrator has a problem with it, I guess they should give their opinion and vote against or whatever, and then the nomination can wait another couple weeks.--Tim Thomason 01:07, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I'm not saying this to win support or help my case or anything, but I feel I need to point out that with both Alan and A.J. gone for an indeterminate length of time, we are currently lacking two administrators. Not to discredit those admins still available, but I'm sure another one would be helpful during this time. Like I said, I'm not saying it for me, I just felt I should point this out. --From Andoria with Love 07:10, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I completely missed that earlier. Done now. :) -- Cid Highwind 11:14, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: With power comes great responsibility. And with diplomacy, I only want to reassert that reverting edits with an opinion of 'the descriptions of the episodes are not necessary' isn't in the spirit of a Wiki. Of course, vandalism should always be reverted, and we all will help report any articles we've found to be vandalized. --Funkdubious 18:26, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
